>>50016082The OP concluded that Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Steel types are more popular than other types based on those types showing up frequently in Google's Pokemon of the Year Poll. Based on that very same poll, the article writer in TheGamer concludes that Unova Pokemon are the least popular since the most popular Pokemon in Unova, Chandelure, is at a distant 17th place. Clearly that assessment is superficial and flawed and overlooks the fact that Unova introduced 156 Pokemon, more than any other region. As a result, the voteshare is more divided than among any other region by default. Nonetheless, Kanto, which has a similar number of Pokemon, still had candidates which made it to the top ten. Hence we can conclude that, on average, people aren't as enthusiastic about any particular Unova Pokemon as they are for Gengar or Umbreon, for example.
